SLACKER

I know, I know I am a slacker. I have really let this go for a while. There have been all sorts of exciting things that have happened in my family I just haven't gotten around to blogging about them and that I am sorry for=) The really exciting news is that Tina and Nathan are getting married. On Easter weekend Nathan asked Tina if she would marry him and of course she said yes. It was really cool and he took Tina by surprise. I don't think she expected him to do it with the entire family right there and I am glad that he let us all witness it. The entire Chap clan was at the Holiday Inn for Easter weekend. Fun was had by all!!!


Madi is now 18 months old and keeps me on my toes! She has fun going up and down the steps and every time coming down bringing me something from upstairs as to say "ha, you didn't even catch me going upstairs and now I am back down again so you can't even yell at me!" She is loving the weather now that it is nice out...or should I say NOT 32 degrees. Mary(her daycare provider) has been telling me of all the fits that Madi has every time they go outside and it is time to go in. Apparently Madi has been on the sweet and quiet side for Mary. Now, me on the other hand have been privileged to see Madi throwing her fits for some time now. She definitely knows how to voice her opinion and if she is not happy about something she lets you know=) I wonder were she gets that from.

Nick on the other hand tends to be my quiet one until Madi throws a fit then he proceeds to yell at her saying "your giving me a headache" or another classic "you are going to make my ears pop!" What can I say they love each other!


A couple of Sunday's ago the kids and I rode along to Cologne with Dave so he could move some equipment for work. Nick was in seventh heaven. He got to ride with Dave in a big John Deere - of course this was one time when I failed to have my camera with - thank goodness for cell phones. I have never seen this kid with a bigger smile on his face.

That is all for now and I promise to be better or at least get back to my once a month blog update.
